"Zhen said that this terrain map is wonderful. What do you think?”Shi Huang laughed heartily as he explained.
"Your Majesty, this general is more familiar with the Great Yue Clan. When the sandstorm dissipates in a few days, this general is willing to lead troops to attack!”Zhang Han cupped his fists and asked for orders. That soaring heroic spirit made people unable to help but praise.
"Even though the Great Yue Clan has obtained the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings 'rewards and has become more powerful, their true battle power is not worth mentioning. Great Qin's rewards are even more generous, and we can definitely take them down with our spears.”Li Si analyzed methodically.
"Yes, that makes sense, but it's not a good plan.”Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and leaned back.
"Could it be that Your Majesty has a better countermeasure?”Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Carriage Mansion, looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
He felt that Qin Shi Huang wanted to suppress his arrogance, and the ministers were helpless to do anything to show his foresight.
"Haha, the opening of the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings has changed the situation in the world. The Great Yue Clan has obtained 500 pairs of light combat boots and their combat strength has increased greatly.”Ying Zheng guided her patiently.
"It's definitely not our Great Qin. It's close to the Yue clan, the Xiongnu! Yes, the Xiongnu must be panicking now. After all, they didn't make it to the rankings.”The iron-blooded general Meng Yi also reacted after a short moment of shock.
What did the Xiongnu have to do with Great Qin?
"Your Majesty, do you mean to ally with the Huns and the Ganyue Clan? It didn't seem necessary…It's not like Great Qin can't beat them." Meng Yi frowned, but he didn't dare to openly question the First Emperor.
"If even a boorish old man like you can think of a plan, how could His Majesty not think of it?”Li Si pursed his lips.
Meng Yi smiled foolishly, appearing slightly awkward.
"Your Majesty, don't keep me in suspense. If you have any good plans, I'll give you a reference.”
"I ask you, if you were a general of the Great Yue Clan and I sent someone to deliver a batch of armor and weapons to the Xiongnu, how would you react?”Ying Zheng smiled.
"Of course, we're going to lead our troops to fight the Xiongnu. If we can't defeat Great Qin, then what's the point of the Xiongnu? They're all nomadic tribes, and the Da Yue family is slightly stronger than the Xiongnu.”
"Right, send the Xiongnu armor and weapons. With their current situation, they have no reason to refuse. When the Yue family and the Xiongnu fight each other and both sides suffer, it will be the day when Great Qin's cavalry will sweep through the northwest! Wonderful, only His Majesty could come up with such a thousand-year-old scheme!”Zhao Gao looked convinced.
" No, no. Our target is the Peacock Dynasty in the southwest, which is the greatest threat to Great Qin. Let's retreat first. Li Si, Zhang Han, Meng Yi, and the Sixth Prince will stay.”It was obvious that the First Emperor wanted to talk about something more confidential, and there were too many people watching, so he simply announced his retreat.
It was understandable for Li Si and the other two to stay, but why didn't Prince Six let them go? Was Ying Lan pampered to this extent? Even though he had a title of nobility, he was only a doctor. His achievements were limited to farming.
Very soon, the ministers left one after another, and the hall became much more spacious. Ying Zheng originally wanted to go to the study to talk, but seeing that Ying Lan was sleeping soundly, he decided not to disturb him, so as not to delay his connection with the immortals.
"General Zhang Han, have you found any leads on the matter I asked you to investigate?”Ying Zheng asked casually.
"Your Majesty, I've turned Xianyang City upside down, but there are no clues about the Nether Army. However, according to the reward on the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings that day, the beam of light is in Xianyang City, so I boldly speculate that the Nether Army is in Xianyang Palace!”Zhang Han said solemnly.
"In the palace?" Ying Zheng closed his eyes and meditated for a while.
Could it be that some general had secretly trained and established an invincible Iron-Blooded Army? It was impossible that there was no movement. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings had been released, and the commander of the Nether Army, Bloody Butcher, had not looked for him. Could it be that he wanted to take the reward for himself?
Or was he a traitor who wanted to establish his own sect? No matter what the situation was, he would not allow it to happen.
Li Si, what do you think?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty, this is no small matter. According to my preliminary estimation, the average combat strength of the Netherworld Army has reached the Earth Realm.”Li Si was worried. If this army was hiding in Xianyang Palace, it would be even more troublesome.
If the commander, Bloody Butcher, was a survivor of the Six Nations, and this action alerted the enemy, it could be a fierce battle that involved both sides.
After all, it was the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings that determined the empire. The information might not be 100% accurate.
"What?! A thousand people? Prime Minister, are you joking?" Meng Yi's expression was strange. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had only reached the Earth Realm two years ago, so he knew the difficulty of it.
In other words, this mysterious Nether Army was equivalent to having a thousand Meng Yis…
With this level of battle power, they could go toe-to-toe with Great Qin's hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
"General Meng Yi, with His Majesty here, how could this old minister dare to joke about such a matter?”Li Si rolled his eyes.
"Continue to investigate. Be careful and don't give yourself away.”Ying Zheng said in a low voice. He would not allow a trump card army that could contend against Great Qin to lurk around him. If it was a traitor, no matter who it was, he would not show mercy.
"Yes." Zhang Han cupped his fists.
"Huff huff huff." A series of even snoring sounds made Ying Zheng feel speechless. He had asked Ying Lan to stay behind because he did not want to disturb his connection with the Immortals, and on the other hand, he wanted to eavesdrop on Ying Lan's inner thoughts. Who knew that this guy was sleeping like a dead pig?
Sigh, it was too difficult for him to attend court. After all, he usually slept until the sun was shining brightly every day, and these few days, Great Qin's celebrations were held in the morning…
Ying Zheng shook his head, choosing to ignore it as he said in a low voice.
"Come out."
Immediately after, a swordsman in black slowly walked out from behind the screen. His arrogant expression seemed to have the aura of looking down on the world.
This person was the Legendary Great Swordsman Ge Nia, Great Qin's number one Sword Saint!
His cultivation was unfathomable, and it was because of him that Great Qin was able to sweep through the six countries like Mount Tai.
He had a sword at his waist, but the First Emperor's expression was normal.
This was Ge Nia's privilege. The Emperor had given his back to him, which was enough to show his trust in Ge Nia.
"How has your seclusion been recently?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
"I've made some progress." Ge Nia smiled faintly.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. If Ge Nia could make a breakthrough, he would be the greatest reliance against the Peacock Dynasty. Even without the Nether Army, Great Qin would still have a chance to become the number one in the world.
"Alright, let me know if you need anything. Since you're not busy recently, assist Zhang Han in investigating the Netherworld Army.”Ying Zheng was very polite.
Li Si and the others were envious, but Ge Nia deserved this honor.
